Happy May, Galaxy! This month our theme is magic, mysticism, and ta**ra, and we'll be exploring the unseen, the incomprehensible, and the expansive! There are also some chill studio get downs for you to check out this month. More deets on these below ⬇️

Elizabeth will share a breakdown of the 'astrological weather', you'll move through somatic movement, practice breathwork and kundalini meditation, as well as time for rest with optional Reiki! There will be opportunity for journaling, so bring along a journal and pen too.

⭐️Join our yin and restorative immersion training led by Mary, May 15 through May 17. You will learn the difference between yin and restorative yoga, their lineages, benefits, and contraindications. You will also learn tools for intelligent sequencing and confident teaching in these two styles. There will be lots of time to explore prop variations in community too!

✨️THIS WEEKEND IN THE GALAXY✨️⁠

Wander into the Galaxy this weekend and let yourself space out. 🛸 ⁠

🌱This Saturday, there is a free community class at 11:00a with recent teacher training grad and deeply loved, McKenna! McKenna hopped into the seat of the teacher with ease. She shows up to teach authentically, without fear, and full of the silly vibes and magic she carries. This class is full, but feel free to hop on the waitlist!⁠

Enjoy this weekend with those that make your cup overflow. We hope to see you soon. 💛⁠

Today we celebrate another Galaxy Ta**us- Aerial! ✨ Aerial has a heart of pure GOLD. 💛 Aerial completed our 200hr teacher training program last year and she was definitely the “mother hen” of the cohort. She made sure everybody felt comfortable, and was always down to help her cohort buddies with their assignments, practice teaches, and offering sweet words of encouragement! She embodies what it means to be a good friend. Also, when Aerial has her sights set on something, she GETS IT DONE. 🔥 A gentle, but fierce soul, and we are so grateful to have her energy here in the Galaxy! 🪩

May this year be the best one yet! We love you, Aerial! ♉️

We’re starting Ta**us season off by celebrating this sweet angel today!!! Ashley is a caring, warm, silly and fun human being! She makes you feel seen, will lend a hand when you need it, and is constantly looking for ways to support others. 💛 As I’m sure you can imagine, we couldn’t be happier to have her around the Galaxy. 🪐👽✨

Happiest of birthdays, Ashley! We love you immensely! Thanks for sharing your light with us!

✨POEM IN MY POCKET✨

A contest, sort of, to get people reciting poems aloud, from memory.

Record yourself reciting a poem of your choice. Doesn't have to be super long. It can go up as a reel, or you can put it in your stories if you're shy.

Tag the studio and use the hashtag

You can enter as many times as you like!

At the end of April, I'll choose one person (randomly from submissions) to win a T-shirt of their choice, and one person to receive one free month of yoga (we'll either cover your monthly membership for one month, or you'll get one free month of yoga).

Don't worry, I'll go first, keep your eyes peeled...

Practice with her sweet and gentle spirit every Monday for Galaxy Flow at 5:45p!⁠

What led you to becoming a yoga teacher?⁠
"I became a yoga teacher after personally experiencing my own profound transformation through the practice of yoga. I had finished active cancer treatment and began a regular yoga practice that quite literally changed my life. I knew I needed to learn more, to deepen my own understanding of yoga and be a source of inspiration to help guide others on their own journey to rediscovering who they are after trauma, loss, and life transitions. What a beautiful gift to be able support others as they continue to evolve from one moment to the next."⁠

What is your favorite part about teaching yoga?⁠
"My favorite part of teaching yoga is creating a container to allow others the space and beauty of embodiment and the opportunity to return to themselves over and over again with love and compassion."⁠

Currently, what style of yoga are you drawn to most? Why?⁠
"I absolutely love Yin yoga. It offers a much needed balance to the yang of my life. With that being said I do believe it's important and advantageous to explore all different styles of yoga because we are evolving and changing everyday what is needed one day may be different the next."⁠

Top three favorite yoga poses...GO!⁠
"Triangle pose (trikonasana), Easy Seat (sukhasana), and Gate Pose (parighasana)"⁠

What is your favorite restaurant in Milwaukee?⁠
"I could eat at Forage Kitchen everyday."⁠

If you could gain one superpower, what would you choose?⁠
"Time travel. I would love to go back in time to hug my loves who have crossed to the other side. But if I'm being honest I think vulnerability is a superpower of its own and one that I've leaned into over the years."⁠

Describe what a perfect day for you would look like.⁠
"My ideal day involves a beautiful beach, my family, and no obligations. Simply being present with the people I love in a beautiful setting. The sun beaming down, the sound of the waves rolling in, and our laughter to fill the space in between."

✨YOUR EPICALLY POETIC APRIL GALAXY DISPATCH HAS LANDED✨

Hey Galaxy, it's Anna ✌️

The dispatch is up on Substack, our website, and in your inboxes (subscribe on our website if you're not already).

This month, I get into how the Bhagavad Gita isn't just a poem - but the SONG of the Divine, which led me to remembering the gift of learning how to analyze literature, poetry and song lyrics with Best English Teacher Ever, Don O'Hagan, my favorite moment of the Gita, and my answer to Rilke's question: "Am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?"

Please email me favorite poems and songs this month, friends - I love to share in what you love.

See you in class - I'll be spinning songs with lyrics, which you'll already know if you read this month's dispatch 😉

✨️IMMACULATE TEACHER FEATURE✨️⁠
Meet Anjali! ⁠
Join her and her joyous energy every Saturday at noon for Yoga for Sustaining Resistance, a vin/yin class to help calm the nervous system. 😌⁠

What led you to becoming a yoga teacher?⁠
"I originally signed up for a 200 hour teacher training to deepen my own personal practice and to try to understand myself better. The process of committing to a regular practice and showing up over and over again allowed me to observe patterns I never knew existed and slowly started allowing me to shift how I relate to myself and the world around me. The yoga teachers I practiced with gave me a space to experience the full range of emotions and reconnect with my mind/body in a way I couldn't in my busy day to day life. I have found yoga to be an incredibly healing and transformative practice, and being able to offer that to others in my community gives me a lot of joy and purpose."⁠

What is your favorite part about teaching yoga?⁠
"I genuinely love every part of it! Saturdays have become my favorite day of the week. Teaching a weekly class has allowed me to start finding inspiration and learning moments from my daily life that I can then bring to class. It has challenged me to keep up my personal practice so that I can speak from my own experience, and practice being really present and open with my students. I love being able to experiment with being weird/ breaking out of the mold we spend so much time in to just see what shows up! I also love riffing about crazy universe facts while my students are in yin. Finally, it feels really special to facilitate intentional time for people to be consciously embodied (because the system relies on us being disembodied just saying!)"⁠

Currently, what style of yoga are you drawn to most? Why?⁠
"I currently teach a vinyasa / yin class which I am really enjoying. I love a challenging vinyasa flow to build physical and mental strength and get energy discharged from the body. There are so many fun poses to play with and you get to see tangible progress over time. The mind learns to focus and breathe through high energy exertion. Transitioning to the yin portion of the class we get to hold poses for 3-5 minutes at a time, practice down regulating the nervous system and observing micro changes / sensations in the body. This combo allows us to complete a full stress cycle and practice awareness in both high and low input situations."

Top three favorite yoga poses...GO!
"Ardha Chandrasana, Malasana, Savasana "

What is your favorite restaurant in Milwaukee?
"EE Sane"

If you could gain one superpower, what would you choose?
"I'm always hydrated lol. Or teleportation."

Describe what a perfect day for you would look like.
"Some combo of beautiful weather, being outside with my dog Plum, full Trader Joes haul in the fridge, cooking dinner w friends/family, nothing on the calendar the next day!"
